My favorite detail of all of them is the hall of the royal families. You can see how each daughter is first little, then the next mother. They kept it/showed consistency and I looovvve it.

Okay, those have to be some of the most adorable harmless shadow demons I’ve seen. Question, were they just part of a dream or her imagination, or were they real? I noticed the one she held in her arms disappeared before she woke up with her parents.

@happyheartstv1431 Жыл бұрын

Nah I think they’re real they just left before she woke up to play with someone else

It’s all up to what you take from the short.

@lyn292 10 ай бұрын

probably not real, but my theory is, maybe they were real you know one of the mentors had a leaf on their head maybe they transformed into the shadows to help the little girl try to tucker herself out for tomorrows lesson but that's just what I think.

Possibly. Its also possible that each new step in the lineage is married off to another kingdom, or that the kings marry into the kingdom. Either way, its certainly a cool detail

I'm so happy I found this! I fell in love with this short when it was screened at a Studio Ghibli showing through Fathom Events. Now I can watch it and share it with my friends. It's definitely a favorite short that I've seen this year at these special theater events. The stylistic choices are charming, as well as the story. I also liked how the limited frame rate worked for this film without being distracting! The aesthetics remind me of Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea, which are films I love very much.
